Regular Expressions and Traps

Question

I want to set up different actions to the same trap, based on the hostname of the system sending the trap.  What I want to do is have a one trap action fire off if the hostname starts with a specific string (for example, all servers where the hostname starts with mytest1), and a different action to fire on the same trap if the hostname starts with a different string (for example, all servers where the hostname starts with test2).

I tried the following regular expressions with no luck:

\i^<put the string here>)[^\0]*?\z

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bo

I was refered to the Administrator Guide, which does a good job of explaining how to ge this working right.

In case anyone is wondering, here is an example of the regex I am using:

^mytest[0-9] for the mytest hostname and ^test[0-9] for the test hostname.  The "^" means "start at the beginning of the string."
